However—
Just as the Origin Dao Tablet was about to be activated, and the vast source power of the Myriad Daos was about to surge forth—
Another change occurred!
"Vooooom!!!!!!"
The Origin Dao Tablet actually began trembling on its own again!
This time, it shook more violently than ever before, as if it wanted to break free from the restraints of the Sea of Consciousness!
The entire stone tablet erupted with unprecedented, dazzling light, illuminating Lu Chen's Sea of Consciousness until it was utterly bright!
Ancient, mysterious runes surfaced from the body of the tablet, flowing and combining into profound patterns, as if welcoming something, calling out to something!
Immediately afterward—
Under Lu Chen's dumbfounded, disbelieving gaze—
A hazy, illusory gray figure, like a guttering candle in the wind that could go out at any moment...
actually drifted slowly out of the Origin Dao Tablet!
The figure was faint and indistinct, its features almost impossible to make out. Only the outline of a human form could be seen.
But—
That outline!
That aura!
That supreme majesty, as if every gesture could suppress the All Heavens and Myriad Daos and stabilize the universe of creation!
"Origin... Senior Origin?!!"
Lu Chen cried out involuntarily, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets as his mind went blank!
Wasn't... Senior Origin's remnant thought already gone?
In the final scene of those memories, he had clearly died and his Dao had vanished, turning into specks of light!
How...
How could he possibly appear again?!
Could those memory fragments just now have been the last remaining imprint of Senior Origin's remnant thought, transmitting information to me?
And what had appeared now...
Was it a wisp of true-spirit imprint even weaker and more illusory than a remnant thought?!
Had the Origin Dao Tablet sensed a fatal crisis
